Voron 2.4 Support

How well does RatOS 2 work with the Voron 2.4 these days? Im at a friend he's running an old FluiddPI version which is no longer maintained. Since I am helping him, I figured I'd use RatOS since that is what I am familiar with and I can better help him out. I realize its Mainsail under the hood, so it should work the same as that, I'm just hoping that RatOS has all the default config in place so we spend less time configuring it. Thanks!

I just had a DejaVu ... I asked about this before. RatOS doesn't work nice with the older Spider 1.1 boards.

It's also beta so you might run into issues

I just learned that the older boards can be updated to 32KiB bootloader offset making them compatible That works. Updating klipper via RatOS flashes it correctly now thats nice

its not so easy like config a vc3.1. i have build a ldo Voron 2.4 these days and i have to change many things in RatOs. Wiring is different from ldo to RatOs.

This is correct, there's currently no good way around this, other than if you know you're going to use RatOS, wire it according to the RatOS diagrams from the start. This will probably be solved in 2.2 (custom driver slot and pin assignment through the configurator). 2.1 should already make the voron experience a bit better, but it would still require the RatOS wiring. It's possible to write specific board configs for Voron 2.4, but that's gonna be a pain in the ass to maintain and it would require separate wiring diagrams (config + diagram * 26 boards is a lot of work) and it would be super inconsistent as there's no real standard across boards in Voron land. On a related note, EBB 2240/2209 (STM) support is coming.
